45 * Warning: this code is semi machine dependent; the ordering of words in

47 * long interger at the address of a floating point number will be the
48 * leading 32 bits of that floating point number (i.e., sign, exponent,
49 * and the 20 most significant bits).
50 * On a National machine, it has different ordering; therefore, this code
51 * must be compiled with flag -DNATIONAL.
